A Nairobi pastor known to be a strong supporter of the Jubilee regime has issued a hard hitting statement concerning Kenya's wobbling economic situation, saying politicians have abandoned ordinary citizens.

Pastor Godfrey Migwi of House of Hope Church lamented that MPs had left Kenyans to struggle with tough times on their own and only God who makes the sun shine and rain fall for the righteous and wicked would rescue the impoverished masses.

In his Facebook post of Tuesday, September 18, Migwi said parliamentarians from both Jubilee and Opposition had prioritised their party leaders' positions by endorsing new taxes and forgotten the welfare of economically burdened voters.

The cleric further hit out at Uhuru, Opposition leader Raila Odinga and Deputy President William Ruto saying they had accumulated a lot of wealth to an extent they could not resonate with daily cries of ordinary Kenyans.

"Raila Odinga is one of the leading importers of oil and gas in Kenya. Ruto is one of the leading importers of sugar and maize in Kenya. Wanjiku (ordinary Kenyans) where are you? President Uhuru Kenyatta is the biggest processor of milk through Brookside and largest shareholder of Kenya Power," Migwi claimed.

According to the man of the cloth with a penchant for politics and current affairs, the current economic situation was the worst for Kenyans to ever experience.

"This is the hardest time in Kenyan history to the common mwananchi (citizens) but God of Elijah will rescue us and provide for His people. I cannot keep quite," reiterated Migwi.

He called on Kenyans to hold together firmly and call on God for provision at a time their representatives had abandoned them.

His sentiments echoed a concern by Nairobi Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi who said Parliament was Kenya's sole cause of economic degradation.

"Kenya has one problem and one problem only. Parliament. Look at how we are taxed. Look at how our money is spent on beach volley ball in Mombasa. Look at the laws they pass. Look at the bribes they take to defeat the sugar report.Look at the lack of quorum. Parliament is the problem," tweeted Abdullahi on Wednesday, September 19.
